*** additional submission deadline extension***
Due to a number of requests by individual authors for a further
deadline extension, we have decided to grant an extension of
the submission deadline for all the Evo* 2009 events to
30 November 2008

EvoMUSART 2009
7th European Workshop on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music,
Sound, Art and Design
15-17 April, 2009, Tubingen, Germany

INTRODUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EvoMUSART 2009 is the seventh workshop of the EvoNet working group on
Evolutionary Music and Art. Following the success of previous events
and the growth of interest in the field, the main goal of EvoMUSART
2009 is to bring together researchers who are using biologically
inspired techniques for artistic tasks, providing the opportunity to
promote, present and discuss ongoing work in this area.
The workshop will be held from 15-17 April, 2009 in Tubingen, Germany
as part of the EvoStar event.
Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and included
in the EvoWorkshops proceedings, published by Springer Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
EvoMUSART 2009 important dates are:
Submission deadline: November 30, 2008
Conference: April 15-17, 2009
To submit a paper you can directly access the page:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The papers should concern the use of bio-inspired techniques -
e.g. Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Life, Artificial Neural
Networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc. - in the scope of the generation,
analysis and interpretation of art, music, design, architecture and
other artistic fields. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Generation
o Biologically Inspired Design and Art-Systems that create
drawings, images, animations, sculptures, poetry, text, objects,
designs, webpages, buildings, etc.;
o Biologically Inspired Sound and Music - Systems that create
music, sounds, instruments, voices, sound effects, sound
analysis, etc.;
o Robotic Based Evolutionary Art and Music;
o Other related generative techniques;
- Theory
o Computational Aesthetics, Emotional Response, Surprise, Novelty;
o Representation techniques;
o Surveys of the state-of-the-art in the area; identification of
weaknesses and strengths; comparative analysis and
classification;
o Validation methodologies;
o Studies on the applicability of these techniques to related areas;
o New models designed to promote the creative potential of
biologically inspired computation;
- Computer Aided Creativity
o Systems in which biologically inspired computation is used to
promote the creativity of a human user;
o New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle;
o Analysis and evaluation of: the artistic potential of biologically
inspired art and music; the artistic processes inherent to these
approaches; the resulting artifacts;
o Collaborative distributed artificial art environments;
- Automation
o Techniques for automated fitness assignment;
o Systems in which an analysis or interpretation of the artworks
is used in conjunction with biologically inspired techniques to
produce novel objects;
o Systems that exploit biologically inspired computation to
perform the analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some
other types of artistic object;
